“When I was commissioned to design a new sofa for ADEA, the first vision that came to me was of the archetypical British Howard sofa. I decided to contemporise the Howard classic, giving it neater, stricter lines. ADEA put a lot of effort into the comfort factor, so in spite of the neat dimensions, the comfiness is out of this world. It takes its name from one of the idols of my youth, synthpop artist Howard Jones”.
